Skylark Buzz: Haikubox Pro

Designed for wildlife professionals, the Skylark Buzz is a passive acoustic monitoring device providing real-time bird and bat species identification. 

Birds sing, bats echolocate, and your Skylark Buzz is ready to record, identify and share them with you, 24/7!

The Buzz uses its on-board and cloud-based Haikubox neural nets and shares what it learns with you through the Haikubox mobile app, available in the Google Play and Apple App stores.

The Buzz is your new low-cost animal identifier, with these built-in features:

• Full-spectrum audio: Continuous or triggered recording (you set the schedule) of bats and birds up to 192 kHz. Recorded as 16-bit/32-bit wav/flac files, 8kHz - 384kHZ.
• Real-time species detections and identifications: With a connection to the internet via your site's wifi, you can see which species are being heard in real time, with optional notifications for interesting species.
• GPS location: The integrated GPS module allows the Buzz to automatically set the internal clock for accurate location and date/time stamping.
• SD card: Each device includes an SD card holder so you can store raw audio and backup detections in the case wifi signal is lost.
• Plug-in or solar/rechargeable lithium-ion battery powered: Choose the power option that will work best for your location.
• Ready for your custom AI: Each Buzz is capable of running a unique neural net you create with your acoustic data! Haven't yet developed your net? Ask about our new tool to help you get started!
• Optional cell link: For locations without wifi, contact us for details about the available cellular gateway. SIM and cell service required. Purchase the cell link package separately.

The Buzz was thoughtfully designed and is field-ready for long-term deployments in harsh weather conditions:

• Rugged: Weather-sealed, with field-serviceable parts.
• Unbranded: No logos or labels are on the enclosure so you can add your own, or not.
• Easy setup: Deployment settings are controlled on the device.
• Solar: The optional solar panel allows unlimited audio collection and transmission by charging a lithium-ion battery.
